Islamic State magazine interviews Hayat Boumeddiene

Fugitive former wife of terrorist Amédy Coulibaly who killed four Jewish men in
Paris supermarket given voice in Isis Q&A article
The wife of the French terrorist who killed five people in Paris following the attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine has given an interview to an Islamic State publication, the Islamist group has claimed.
Hayat Boumeddiene, one of the world’s most wanted women, was thought to have fled France before her husband, Amédy Coulibaly, killed a policewoman in Paris and then went on to gun down four Jewish men at a kosher supermarket in the Porte de Vincennes area of the city.
Her name is not given in the text in the publication Dar al-Islam (The Lands of Islam), and there is no photograph of her accompanying it, but she is presented as the wife of “brother Abou Basir Abdoullah al-Ifriqi”, Coulibaly’s nom de guerre. The interview suggests she is in Islamic State-held territory in Iraq or Syria.
The magazine article, in Q&A form, contains several Koranic verses, and has not been independently verified as being genuine. Officials have said there is nothing in the article that enables them to date it or find out where 26-year-old Boumeddiene might be.
